Please vote for the best flags; you may choose up to six flags. The top six will be moving on to the next round. This is NOT a vote for which country is "better". We are strictly voting based on the aesthetics and the design of each flag, not taking into account any geopolitical issues. Below each flag you'll find a link to the Wikipedia article about that flag, if you're curious to find out more about its history and symbolism.

Beautiful!!!

Should have kept it!! Maybe it is now easier for school children to draw and football hooligans to put on the back of their jackets. That has been my view of the U.S. flagg over the last 50 years.

yes, it represented the main regions. Normally the flag was used without the arms, only the three colors
